Chapter 852 - Do You Have To Be Shameless Just Because She Is Shameless?
Panda Novel
Ji Mianmian was practically salivating when she heard that she could eat soon. Her eyes were pinned onto the stove. “I already told you that’s not a pretty boy. That’s our company’s Leng Ran. He’s an artist, okay? He doesn’t even go back to his place every day.”
“So what if he’s from your company? It doesn’t change the fact that he looks sneaky. I’m off now.”
Ji Mianmian waved her hand. “Go on then. Remember to buy a watermelon when you come back. I want to eat some.”
Ye Shaoguang clenched his teeth at the sight of Ji Mianmian and her usual thoughtless self. “I think you’re the watermelon around here, the unripe kind of watermelon.”
Ye Shaoguang closed the door as he went out.
When he arrived at the hospital, he was there just in time to see Ye Lingzhi being wheeled around from the surgery room.
He saw Ye Jiangong. “Uncle… How’s my cousin?” he asked.
Ye Jiangong paid no attention to him. “It doesn’t look too good,” the doctor answered instead, “We’ve temporarily saved her now, but we need to observe her for 24 hours to see if she can survive this critical period. She’s critically injured. You better prepare yourself.”
The doctor left. “Uncle, how did Cousin get into an accident?” Ye Shaoguang asked. “Did they catch the driver?”
Ye Jiangong’s expression remained immobile. “They did. It was a drug addict,” his second son, Ye Xuguang, replied in his place, “He was high on drugs. He’s been caught.”
“A drug addict…” Ye Shaoguang said, tone soft, “So… it’s a coincidence?”
“It’s probably… a coincidence,” Ye Xuguang said, “Cousin’s luck is not too good.”
“It isn’t.” Ye Shaoguang glanced toward Ye Jiangong.
Soon after, Ye Xuguang left to settle the bill. Only Ye Shaoguang and Ye Jiangong were left in the corridor.
“Shaoguang, aren’t you a little too close to that Yan Qingsi? Don’t forget who she is and who you are,” Ye Jiangong said, “If we go by family seniority, you’re her uncle. If anyone spreads any rumors, she’s the type who has no shame. But what about you? What about the Ye family?”
“You worry too much, Uncle. There’s no such thing happening.”
“You know whether there is such a thing. The Ye family is plagued with troubles now. You better get out of the country and tide it over.”
A sardonic glint flashed in Ye Shaoguang’s eyes. “Uncle… that’s more of a reason why I can’t leave. We need to investigate what happened to Cousin. I don’t think this accident is as simple as it seems.”
“Quiet. Do you know more than the police now?” Ye Jiangong reprimanded in a snapping tone. “The police have already concluded the investigation. It was an accident.”
Ye Shaoguang nodded his head. “All right, Uncle.”
“There’ll be people watching here. You don’t have anything to do here. Just go on first.”
“Okay, Uncle. I’ll take my leave now.”
Ye Shaoguang nodded and left. He immediately called Yan Qingsi when he got onto the car, telling her that Ye Lingzhi was not out of the red zone yet.
Ye Jiangong kept pushing him to leave the country, leave the Ye family just now. He probably thought that he was too close with Yan Qingsi and worried that he would take her side, helping her investigate the situation. That was why he wanted him to leave.
Ye Shaoguang emitted a mirthless laugh. Judging from Ye Jiangong’s expression, the secrets that the Ye family hid away were probably about to be exposed.
If Ye Lingzhi had truly been assassinated. If she managed to make a steady recovery now that she was still alive, then… It made sense that someone would make an attempt at her life again.
Should he help Yan Qingsi?
This depended on her sincerity now.
…
The next day, Yan Qingsi went to shoot for the variety show. Yue Tingfeng arranged a few bodyguards to watch over her, out of concern for her safety.
The objective of the program was to promote ‘Beauty’s Rival in Palace’. A few of the main actors had already arrived. What Yan Qingsi did not expect was that even Qin Jingzhi had come too.
